Steve Burkholder, assistant superintendent for teaching and learning, said about 225 students per day are riding school buses at the end of the year.

He said that number includes 35 students on the Grand Island Senior High bus, 65 students on the Barr Middle School bus, 30 students on one Walnut Middle School bus and 45 students on another Walnut Middle School bus route, and 50 students on an elementary route that serves several K-5 schools.
